 I have discovered banana bread and how to make it, its verty nice and I have made loads of it so far and if I keep on making them and eating them at this rate I will start to put weight one and that won't be good but its very moreish though that's the problem and its not that easy to make,  I was hoping to cook it in the air fryer but the tin won't fit in my eir fryer which is a bit of a pain so I use the oven thankfully |I don't have a large oven that costs a lot to run though cooker is gotting on a bit now and is probably expensive to run. I have ordered a smart meter but am worried I will be obsessively watching to see whats on and then switching things off in the winter when I probably need to have them on just to save money, it will be easier for me though not having to go and get readings, they put a new cover on the gas meter the other day and I was not fussed about having to look for a key everytime I needed to get reading but now it does not matter as I will n

 While talking tothe hair dresser today I made some arguemnts about not having a nuclear power station again here, the one we have is being decommissioned and there was talk of another one being put in its place but it seems to have been shelved which is a good things someone else can have one for a change we have done our bit, and at what cost is not sure but I am sure that many have died due to it being here from cancer or something else.    It probably got placed here due to the low wages so that money being offered would be accepted, it was safe they would build them in England as its an english governement that buys them and puts them in place,  It was good for local businesses I guess to have the power station open but Wales does not need the electricity it produces twice what it needs already so they put the thing somewhere else for a change, not that I will be around when the choose to build one and hopefully by the time they do Wales will have secured independence hopfully 

 I grew up liking motown musicm I first became aware of it when there was an advert on the tv in the 1970s for  a compilation called the Big Wheels of Motown I was hooked I had never heard anything like it before since then I have listened to many many Motown tracks I am sure you can name few, The stars of motown were all over in the united states though and the chances of seeing meeting them or seeing them live were very few and far between, I have seen a few motown artists in my life and even met one of the members of the 4 tops when watching them in a club called the town and country club in kentish town in London I even have the autographed photo to prove to it. I grew up in Llan and the interest in motown was strong in my generation, many use to go off to the northern soul clubs in England, much of the motown output was put out in the nothern soul beat, someone once told me, Llan was about the soul, Blaenau was about the rock music. I think the generations of soul enthusiasts have

I went for walk with the local blind society yesterday for the first time in 2 years and it was made possilble by a new scheme which is run by a set up in the next town where they supply a community transport to take people who don't drive places  I had looked at the bus time table and I could not see any bus that was going the way I wanted so I gave the scheme a ring and it was fine thoguh yesterday I saw while on the journey that there was a bus ahead of us which was a bit awkward that I could have caught, I obvioully must have missed it on the time table, going by the transport did save me an hour though that was not really an issue I made a mistake oh well,  I looked to see if there was a bus home there was but the society's bus was going to the next town where I could catch one bus home and did not have to change, though I forgot my walking stick in the bus station sadly so more expenese I hope its not two more years before I can go again yesterday was veery nice the scene
